Local Girls release a 6 track mini album on 7". Nice idea!! But the good thing about it is that's only 99p. That's ludicrously cheap... So cheap in fact I had to mention it in the first line! Anyway you get 6 tracks of lo fi Elastica ish tines. There's something feisty and spunky about it and at times it's quite hard and rocking. Brian has just said it's like Sleeper crossed with Jesus Lizard. It's a lot better than what I thought it was gonna be and it's well worth checking out. Especially at that price! You should check out the back of the sleeve with badly photoshopped animal heads on people. Well worth 99p and it's called Weapons!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

4 hand picked from a bunch of indie pop wannabes, their disillusioned road crew and loyal fan base by a member of the music industry elite: 7 name changes, a £10,000 expense account & a failed press junket to the far east later, the arse falls out of the music industry. With the sound of a bullet ricochetting off their ex-manager’s skull still fresh in the ears of a traumatised typing pool the unnamed band repaired to the less fashionable end of London to choose the name Local Girls & rip off the best bits of the B52s, Ramones & Adam’s Original Ants. You know the score, keep it fashionable & obscure. Potential liars. The first release is a 7” Mini Album; 6 songs at 33rpm - 99p in exchange for your ears and the space in between. 99p. Yes. 99p. Get you hooked on the cheap stuff then jack up the price. It’s back-alley capitalism at it’s very worst - get over it. I didn’t invent the music industry, so blame someone else. All I can do is assure you is that none of the profits from this record will go towards making any more goddamn Coldplay records. Fuck you Parlaphone, you had your chance.
